What is an excess and surplus lines carrier/policy? Do I need it?
Having insurance for your new or already existing business is extremely important. Moreover, every business must have insurance that protects the individual business, the employees, the customers, or all three—having excess insurance options ensure that you and your business are properly protected.
Most insurance companies rely on something called a “law of large numbers.” This allows them to predict potential losses to the business. As a result, businesses have to ensure that other businesses, including themselves, are protected from these potential losses.
You always need to protect yourself and your business. Additionally, you could end up having to spend tons of money on a possible lawsuit. Other legal ramifications can occur as well.
